Michigan's chief law enforcement officer, along with state police, will launch an investigation into those who have allegedly peddled disinformation about the state's Nov. 3 election for their own financial gain.

A Republican-led report that found no evidence of widespread fraud recommended the probe.

The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee report, written by state Sen. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, and adopted by all the Republican members of the committee, called on the attorney general's office to consider investigating those "utilizing misleading and false information about Antrim County to raise money or publicity for their own ends."

Since Nov. 4, when a human error led to an inaccurate report of Antrim County's unofficial election night results, the county that former President Donald Trump won with 61% of the vote has found itself at the heart of the false conspiracy theory that voting machines were intentionally designed to switch votes.

After reviewing the oversight committee's report, the attorney general's office "accepted Sen. McBroom and the Committee's request to investigate," said Lynsey Mukomel, press secretary for Attorney General Dana Nessel.

1. Wait - what?!?!?!?

There is actually a Republican that wants an investigation into 'wrong-doing' by someone regarding fake election claims?

Oh, this ain't gonna' work out well for some 'Republicans' - that is NOT how they're supposed to support TFG!
